The Ultimate blu ray set for all time! The extended editions of Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings present the greatest trilogy in film history in the most ambitious sets in DVD history. Almost 2 additional hours more than the theatrical releases!

In bringing J.R.R. Tolkien’s nearly unfilmable work to the screen, Jackson benefited from extraordinary special effects, evocative New Zealand locales, and an exceptionally well-chosen cast, preserving Tolkien’s vision and often his very words, but also making logical changes to accommodate the medium of film.

1080P BLURAY X264 VERSIONS ARE NOW POSTED. THANK YOU.

The almost two additional hours of material in the extended editions (about 11 hours total) help appease the purists by delving more deeply into Tolkien’s music, the characters, and loose ends that enrich the story, such as an explanation of the Faramir-Denethor relationship, and the appearance of the Mouth of Sauron at the gates of Mordor. In addition, the extended editions offer more bridge material between the films, further confirming that the trilogy is really one long film presented in three pieces (which is why it’s the greatest trilogy ever–there’s no weak link). The scene of Galadriel’s gifts to the Fellowship added to the first film proves significant over the course of the story, while the new Faramir scene at the end of the second film helps set up the third and the new Saruman scene at the beginning of the third film helps conclude the plot of the second.

For all of you who think owning the theatrical editions of The Lord of the Rings trilogy is good enough, think again. These editions are not like any other director’s cuts or special editions of films that we’ve seen in the past.

The extended editions of the first two Lord of the Rings films proved to enhance the plot and characters so much more than anyone ever anticipated. Characters and their journeys become so much clearer and more interesting. The story makes so much more sense. And the whole thing has been re-edited with new music for new scenes and extended musical scores for extended scenes! It’s absolutely seamless! Everything that’s added in really makes me wonder how I could’ve enjoyed the films in their original theatrical release. These extended editions make THAT MUCH of a difference.
